THE CENTRAL MISSIONARY CALLING OF ISRAEL/THE
JEWISH PEOPLE WAS TO BE A LIGHT TO THE
GENTILES- TO BE A SERVANT TO THE
NATIONS ISAIAH 426 496 514 601-3 ACTS
1347 ISRAEL WAS THE VEHICLE BY WHICH GOD
WOULD BRING THE SCRIPTURES AND THE MESSIAH TO
THE WORLD.

ROMANS 91-5 ROMANS 101-3
PAULS HEART WAS BROKEN BECAUSE HIS PEOPLE, AS
A NATION, HAD NOT EMBRACED THE MESSIAH, AN
UNSPEAKABLE SPIRITUAL TRAGEDY. ISRAEL HAD NOT
ATTAINED THE RIGHTEOUSNESS FOR WHICH IT SOUGHT,
STUMBLING OVER JESUS, THE DIVINE STUMBLINGBLOCK,
AND THUS HE PRAYS FOR HIS PEOPLE TO BE SAVED.

ROMANS 1117-21 THE GENTILES HAVE BEEN
GRAFTED IN. THEY ARE NOT APART FROM ISRAEL
ROMANS 1117-21. AS GENTILE BELIEVERS FOLLOW
JESUS EXAMPLE AND MINISTER TO JEWISH PEOPLE,
THEY ARE CONFIRMING THE PROMISES TO THE
FATHERS. THE CHURCH HAS A TWO-FOLD CALLING 1.
BE A BLESSING TO THE WORLD 2. PROVOKE
ISRAEL TO JEALOUSY ROMANS

ISRAEL PRIMARILY KNEW GOD BY WHAT HE HAD DONE ON
THEIR BEHALF. ISRAEL WAS CALLED TO TELL,
PROCLAIM, AND MAKE KNOWN THE MIGHTY DEEDS OF
GOD. PSALM 1051, PSALM 911 God never wanted
them to forget what he had done for them - The
deliverance out of Egyptian bondage!

PASSOVER EXODUS 12 1 14 LEVITICUS 23 4, 5
THIS FEAST CELBRATES THE EXODUS FROM EGYPT
PASSOVER IS CELEBRATED EACH YEAR BY THE JEWISH
PEOPLE THEY SEE NO RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PASSOVER
AND JESUS THE MESSIAH
7
THE PLAGUE OF THE FIRSTBORN As God begins to
deliver Israel from Egypt, He sends Moses to
pharaoh with the demand, "Let My People Go!"
Pharaoh refuses. God sends plagues of increasing
severity upon Egypt, culminating with God's
decree that each firstborn son in Egypt would be
slain (Exodus 115). To protect from this plague
the Israelites who lived in Egypt, God instructs
Moses that each household should select a
yearling male lamb and slaughter it.
8
AND THEY SHALL TAKE OF THE BLOOD, AND STRIKE
IT ON THE TWO SIDE POSTS AND ON THE UPPER DOOR
POST OF THE HOUSES, WHEREIN THEY SHALL EAT
IT. (EXODUS 127). " AND THE BLOOD SHALL BE
TO YOU FOR A TOKEN UPON THE HOUSES WHERE YE
ARE AND WHEN I SEE THE BLOOD, I WILL PASS
OVER YOU, AND THE PLAGUE SHALL NOT BE UPON YOU
TO DESTROY YOU, WHEN I SMITE THE LAND OF
EGYPT. (EXODUS 1213).

THE LAMB IS SEEN AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR THE
FIRSTBORN MALES IN THE HOUSEHOLD.

ISAIAH SERVANT PASSAGES
THE CALL OF THE SERVANT (ISAIAH 42) THE
COMMISION OF THE SERVANT (ISAIAH 49) THE
ATONEMENT OF THE SERVANT (ISAIAH 52 13-5312)
12
THE LAMB IS A SERVANT
ISAIAH 53 SAYS THAT THE SERVANT WILL BE REJECTED
BY HIS OWN PEOPLE. THE SERVANT HAS TO MAKE
UNIVERSAL ATONEMENT. JOHN THE BAPTIST CRIES OUT,
"BEHOLD, THE LAMB OF GOD WHO TAKES AWAY THE SIN
OF THE WORLD JOHN 129. THE SERVANT WILL BE
AN ATONEMENT FOR NOT ONLY ISRAEL BUT THE ENTIRE
WORLD!
13
THE PASSOVER LAMB IS THE JEWISH MESSIAH

I Dont Have Enough Faith To Be An Atheist
14
THE LAMB MUST BE SET APART
JESUS HAD TO BE SANCTIFIED, OR CONSECRATED FOR
THE PURPOSE OF ATONING FOR THE SINS OF THE
WORLD. INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH, WE SEE JESUS
COMMENT ON THIS ISSUE IN JOHN 1719 AND
FOR THEIR SAKES I SANCTIFY MYSELF, THAT THEY ALSO
MIGHT BE SANCTIFIED THROUGH THE TRUTH.
15
THE LAMB IS A SERVANT - KING
Paul understood that the Passover lamb had to
be not only the King of Israel, but the King of
the entire world. ROMANS 1012 FOR THERE IS
NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE JEW AND THE GREEK FOR
THE SAME LORD OVER ALL IS RICH UNTO ALL
THAT CALL UPON HIM.
16
THE LAMB IS WITHOUT SIN
1 Corinthians 57- The Lamb was to be
without BLEMISH - denoting the purity of the Lord
Jesus - a Lamb without SPOT (1 Pet.119).
Pilate, the Roman ruler who examined Jesus,
said to the angry crowds, I have examined him in
your presence, and have found no basis for your
charges against him. Neither has Herod (Luke
2314-15). Pilates wife sent a message to her
husband,Dont have anything to do with the
innocent man (Matt 2719) . Judas, who had
betrayed Jesus said to the Roman guards, I have
betrayed innocent blood (Matt 274).

• COMMUNION - LUKE 22 14-20
• JESUS FAMILY WENT TO JERUSALEM EVERY YEAR AT
  PASSOVER (LUKE 241) .
• PASSOVER WAS TO BE CELEBRATED ONLY WITHIN THE
  PRECINCTS OF JERUSALEM, SO THE CITY WAS PACKED
  WITH PILGRIMS DURING THIS SEASON.
• THE FIRST FOLLOWERS OF JESUS WERE JEWS- THEY HAD
  CELEBRATED THE PASSOVER EVERY YEAR.
• JESUS INAUGURATED THE NEW COVENANT.
• WE NEED TO EXAMINE OURSELVES IN TAKING COMMUNION.

18

• PASSOVER IS A PICTURE OF OUR REDEMPTION
• DO YOU REALIZE YOU HAVE BEEN BROUGHT OUT
• OF THE SLAVERY OF SIN?
• ARE YOU GOING BACK INTO THE SLAVERY OF SIN?
• REMEMBER, YOU ARE IDENTIFIED IN JESUS
• DEATH AND RESURRECTION EVERY
• MOMENT OF THE DAY
• (Romans 6 4-7).
• WHAT IS THE KEY TO SUCESS?

19
John 155 I am the vine, you are the
branches he who abides in Me, and I in him. He
bears much fruit for apart from Me you can do
nothing HOW DEEP ARE OUR ROOTS? Jesus
wants to express His life through us!
